Council tables proposed commercial roll‑cart service pending more information
Summary
Council introduced an ordinance to launch a commercial roll‑cart service for businesses but voted to table it, citing the need for data on potential participants, contract expirations and cost/revenue impacts.
The council opened a public hearing Dec. 9 on an ordinance to amend the city code to allow a commercial roll‑cart service and to add related fees to the master fee schedule. During the item, a council member requested the ordinance be tabled until staff could present data on how many businesses might participate, existing contract expirations and the overall fiscal impact.
A council member said, "It could be 6. It could be 500," underscoring uncertainty about the program's scale. Staff recommended a January workshop to gather additional information and, if appropriate, return the item to the February meeting. The council voted to table the ordinance with those follow-up steps in place.
